Project scope
Fitz Consulting represented an out-of-town tenant in the comprehensive adaptation of an existing property, which originally provided traditional warehouse space, compartmentalised offices, and dated employee facilities. The project brief focused on making intelligent use of the existing building to create a modern working environment tailored to the tenant’s specialized operations, all within a clear budget and tight delivery timeframe.
The transformation and upgrade required the following:
- Adaptation of the former warehouse area into a modern, highly functional lab-style workspace
- Removal of selected non-load-bearing partitions within the office accommodation to open up the original floor plan, significantly improving circulation, connectivity, and natural light
- Complete insulation and opening up of the first floor to create a warmer, quieter, and more comfortable space
- Construction of a new ground-floor layout featuring a glazed boardroom and a separate breakout room
- Installation of aluminium-framed glass joinery to provide privacy and separation without restricting the movement of natural light through the interior
- Interior aesthetic upgrades incorporating raked ceilings, custom wall linings, contemporary flooring, and carefully planned lighting
- Fit-out of thoughtfully designed employee areas featuring integrated appliances and practical spaces
- Conversion of an inefficient, divided toilet space into a spacious, accessible bathroom and shower facility
- Modernisation of the main toilet block with new finishes and upgraded building services
- Comprehensive project management, including navigating structural variations and providing weekly photo and video progress updates to the out-of-town client
The conclusion
The 105 Wordsworth Street redevelopment successfully transitioned a compartmentalised industrial property into a premier contemporary workplace. The finished environment brings together the rigorous operational requirements of a lab-style workspace with the comfort, natural light, and thoughtful amenities expected from a modern office.
Despite the variations that naturally arise when adapting an existing building, Fitz Consulting managed these changes meticulously to maintain progress. By working effectively with the building’s original footprint, the project achieved a substantial improvement in functionality and presentation. Ultimately, the transformation was delivered on budget and within the demanding delivery programme, providing the out-of-town client with absolute confidence that their project was properly represented and expertly executed locally.
